For many years the Federal Highway Administration and before that the Bureau of Public Roads had focused its nondestructive evaluation program on development of better tools to inspect...
Geophycal Investigations of Buried Volcanic Centers Near Yucca Mountain, Southwest Nevada
Several aeromagnetic dipolar anomalies occur over flat, alluvial areas near Yucca Mountain that resemble anomalies typically associated with subaerial basaltic volcanic centers. Detailed...
The Transrapid EMS Maglev System
The Transrapid 300 mph (500 km/hr) magnetically levitated transportation system is ready for revenue application. The maglev system uses contactless electromagnetic suspension and three...
Knolle Magnetrans: A Magnetically Levitated Train System
New permanent magnet materials can now withstand repulsion indefinitely without loss of magnetism. Vehicular magnetic levitation occurs when a track and the undersides of vehicles thereon...
Principles of Ground Modification with Electromagnetic Waves
Application of NMR to Rotating Granular Flow
Granular flow in a steadily rotating cylinder, having a large length-to-diameter ratio, is measured by nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This non-invasive technique is capable...

Beneficiation and Comminution Circuit for the Production of Lunar Liquid Oxygen (LLOX)
A complete lunar beneficiation and comminution circuit has been designed that requires no air or fluid locks for feed introduction or egress, with the exception of a vapor pyrolysis station....
Metallized Microballoon EMI Shielding Materials
The number of applications requiring shielding against electro-magnetic interference (EMI) is growing. Materials that are lightweight, and formable need to be developed for shielding against...
Arizona's Uniform Traffic Impact Procedures
This paper discusses the development of policies and detailed uniform guidelines for traffic impact analysis of proposed developments along Arizona State highways. The paper addresses:...
Apollo 11 Ilmenite Revisited
Various investigations have shown (1) that lunar regoliths are extremely complex materials, (2) that ilmenite is a minor component (8 to 10%) of high-Ti regoliths, and (3) that most of...
